Hi Mike, I have her (presumed?) parents and grandparents. Parents: Joseph GOODIFF and Ann GOFF, married Portsmouth 7 February 1826 Grandparents 1: Richard Goodiff and Jane CHURCHER, married Wickham 28 September 1797 Grandparents 2: James and Ann Goff, no details. There is a group of us who have been researching the Dollery side, as we all descend from John and Jane on one line or another. My own line is through their daughter Jane Sabina Dollery who was married to Edwin Abbott. She was Emily Dollery/Briggs' sister. If I have everything correct, then your wife is my 3rd cousin once removed!! This line is sketchy in my tree, with just her ancestry back to Charles and Emily, but no sibling aunts/uncles or dates.
